Resveratrol-based natural products constitute a valuable source of unique compounds with diverse biological activities. In this report we investigate demethylation strategies to minimize formation of cyclized and dimerized products during the synthesis of viniferifuran and analogues. We found that boron trichloride/tetra-<i>n-</i>butylammonium iodide (BCl<sub>3</sub>/TBAI) is typically more effective than boron tribromide (BBr<sub>3</sub>). Based on these findings we carried out the first synthe ...[more]
